So i was feeling good and got on it in first tonight and made my gf choke on her mint. Then i was heading down I-5 and too off on a dodge neon that was trying to hang well in the prosess the hose that comes out the back of the block and goes up. well that rubber hose split and leaked coolent everywhere even in my spake plug galley so i tryed to soke up as much as i could but it's still running rough untel all the water is out of there. :cry: my baby is mad at me.

You guys can buy a lot of those hoses at Rockauto.com , I replaced all of mine and the only on i bought from Toyota was the ventalation hose.

you know whats funny is that the hose ,after heading up, shifts forward. so all i had to do was cut some off and put it back on. it's like toyota knew that one would go and shaped it that way for a reason because it looks cleaner now then stock lol but that doesn't mean im not replacing it. it just got me home.

try using a shop vac (that picks up water) with a small tip on the end to suck out that coolant.
